Of course I agree that any player can learn to get better in all facets of the game. But Yzerman’s success as an all around player had everything to do with his physical gifts IMO. He would be great in any facet of the game to which he applied himself.
My point is that Monahan’s “attitude and effort” and pretty damn good IMO and his physical gifts are best suited to being a guy who gets the puck in the back of the net.
